Pointing The Way (1959-1961)

In this programme HAROLD MACMILLAN recalls some of the outstanding events of the period: the Summit breakdown after the disastrous U-2 incident; Prime Minister Khrushchev's famous shoe-banging interruption at the United Nations; his first meeting with President Kennedy; how he came to make the 'Winds of Change' speech in South Africa; the weekend President de Gaulle spent with him at his Sussex home; and why he decided that Britain must apply for membership of the Common Market. Producer MARGARET DOUGLAS
